Christopher Hitchens

writer and journalist,
self-declared left-wing that deserted to right-wing politics,
avidly anti-religious, contrary to his brother, Peter Hitchens; coins the phrase "anti-religious" as an extra step from (just) "atheism", in the sense that he not only does not believe, but is rather against religions,
- does not discriminate between religions and is against all of them; even criticizes Zen, Tao and Buddhism in general due to the religions being used to subdue and make soldiers complacent during various conflicts in Asia,
- mentions his distaste of proselytizing (the act of trying to attract new people to a religion) and highlights that religious often find it necessary to proselytize without being asked,
- labels religion as "pornographic", mostly in relation to the final apostasy (most religions, ie: the apocalypse in Christianity) and the weird need for religions to fantasize about "ending times"; mostly taking the stance of wanting to be left out of such groups,
- coins the term "the war on the dead", due to not letting long-past conflicts go and constantly needing to reach far back for justifications,
- heavy critic of St. Maria Theresa, claiming that she ran a cult of death wherever she went by substituting medicine for scripture and letting people suffer more than it was necessary instead of procuring medical treatment; gives examples of nuns that were there to "help out" but did not have any sort of experience nor medical training, as well as criticizing St. Theresa for preaching extreme austerity to population groups that did not need any more suffering; as well as being a firm believer that St. Theresa was completely unconvinced of religion herself,
coins the term "Mausoleocracy", or "Thanatocracy" (as derived from the Greek God of death, Thanatos), in reference to communist regimes; in particular for his examples, North Korea but also with reference to countries like Romania, expressing that the "communist" systems behaved more like a religious cult than like a political regime with the reference to the aforementioned terms ("Mausoleocracy", or "Thanatocracy") highlighting the adulation of dead leaders and the widespread practice of such regimes that under the pressure of their own atrocities made people flee but designated special divisions to force the people to remain within borders,
admirer of George Orwell, talks fondly on the importance of 1984 book, and a great supporter of privacy,
identifies that some people want to be slaves, want to be told what to do and cannot help but want to submit all the time; mostly, he explains, in terms of religion due to offloading responsibility, but also in other actions,
